The possibility to somehow allow some people (my closest friend for
one, for example) to read the private entries.

An idea is to protect those with a separate private entries password.

Anyway.. I would like to be able to disclose private entries to a
select group.

You should be able to only allow friends to view private entries.
Downside is they hav to signup to Aeonity.

The posibility of a "Private Blog" password was implement once but
removed due to lack of control as to say.

It may be something we re-incorperate as we will have a new frame, or
get other ideas.

That would be a nice thing indeed if you could. Making people sign up
is not really a good idea. It takes up space that another user may
want to have (the nick, for one).


An idea is to allow a private entry to be viewed when the correct URL
is entered. I tried earlier with a private test entry, named test
entry, and it didn't show up in the list when I logged out, as should.
Also entering the URL (aeonity..../test-entry) gave me the message
that the entry was private.

Of course it is not as secure, but one could always give an entry a
unique number or something and then when the other person knows the
entry number they can get to it by typing the url in the address bar.
Of course then the direct url should not render a "private entry shoo"
response ;)

Or something like that.

Just hashing out some thoughts of course

We have done this before, the whole password thing. It didnt work out very well, not many people used it. I recommend if you want other people to read your private entries make them register and make them your friend.
 
At that point edit your options:

On the topic of this private entry thing, is there a way to make it an
option so that only Aeonity members can view an entry? It's been
something I've been thinking of and wanting, especially since some of
my friends find my blog when I really don't want them to. I think this
might be helpful for those who come to Aeontiy looking for a secret
blog, and they can feel safe in knowing that only their community will
see it.

Yes, goto UserCP goto Options under that select "Only Friends" can
view your private entries.

Then on any blog you mark as "private" only people who you mark on
Aeonity can view your blogs.
